Phil Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 How many of those 4000 are from Perth? Why do they want to march here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby kemp Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 You would think that the way the trafic problems are in Perth these daysthe council would have refused it on those grounds............. how bad is it going to be with 4,000 marching through the already congested streets on a busy sat in june?

I have yet to see 4,000 jehovahs walking through the streets of Perth and causing traffic congestion ........your comparison is a bit nul and void...........

geo69 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Ask elaine ...jehovahs made my life what it is today. Elaine has no sympathy for you on that count as she says that you and your brother told her that the world would end on the 19th October, knowing fine well that her birthday is the 20th. ha ha.

Fair enough if you wish to pick up on this part of my point, what was your feeling on the Black Watch Parade through the town which did require policing and streets blocked.

208saint Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 And who's paying for the police?? I hope it aint us..In fact it better not be us..- Probably the same people that pay for any kind of march or demonstration. Might be better asking why we need the police for anything but traffic duty given that these marches have their own marshals that know only too well that anyone stepping out of line could see future marches cancelled. It's the muppets who would try to disrupt it that are the problem not the actual marchers themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havana Club Saintee Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 As long as it's well policed, I don't see what the problem is. Maybe council tax payers will question the enthusiasm of welcoming such an event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

208saint Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 As a council tax payer, I'd rather question, the council's piss poor response to the heavy snowfall after Xmas, the state of the pavements since then, there lack of indoor sports facilities for the last god knows how many years, then their decision on finally building new school sports halls to ban football from being played in them, their management of the city centre, why we keep entering bloody Britain in Bloom when the money could be better spent anywhere else in fact any number of things before asking them to ban silly wee men who want to dress up in white gloves and wee peenies and march round a town singing and chanting about a war hundreds of years ago where the only people who really care about them are the people who don't want them to march in the first place, but hey ho if that's what you think we should be challenging them about then fair play to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
